Microplastic ingestion ubiquitous in marine turtles [PDF]
Global Change Biology, 2018 AbstractDespite concerns regarding the environmental impacts of microplastics, knowledge of the incidence and levels of synthetic particles in large marine vertebrates is lacking. Here, we utilize an optimized enzymatic digestion methodology, previously developed for zooplankton, to explore whether synthetic particles could be isolated from marine ...

Lifespan estimation in marine turtles using genomic promoter CpG density.
PLoS ONE, 2020 Maximum lifespan for most animal species is difficult to define. This is challenging for wildlife management as it is critical for estimating important aspects of population biology such as mortality rate, population viability, and period of reproductive

Turtle riders: remoras on marine turtles in Southwest Atlantic [PDF]
Neotropical Ichthyology, 2006 An overview is presented for a poorly documented relationship between reef vertebrates in Southwest Atlantic: remoras (Echeneidae) associated with marine turtles. Two remora species (Echeneis naucrates and Remora remora) and four turtle species (Caretta caretta, Chelonia mydas, Eretmochelys imbricata, and Dermochelys coriacea) are here recorded in ...
